Digital Transformation and the 3-End Architecture of Eco-organization

 

The world has entered the VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) era. In such a business environment, how could our enterprises effectively create and capture business values?

How to balance division of work and coordinate diverse activities is the oldest and most essential issue of organizational management. On the evening of 24th Nov., The University of Manchester China Centre invited Professor Ping Li, Li Dak Sum Chair Professor of International Business at the University of Nottingham at Ningbo, to deliver a speech about digital transformation and ecological organisation at VUCA era, who believes that believes that digitalization requires a new organizational form, i.e., the distributive 3-end architecture (nimble front-end project team; integrative central-end platform, and long-term back-end headquarters) can solve the problem of balancing the division of labor for specialization and the coordination for integration. Meanwhile, our alumni from The University of Manchester, Dr. Weixu Ding, Mr. Allen Mao and Ms.Tracy Liu will participate in the discussion on sub-topics about empowerment, design and digitalization.

During the event, Professor Li will bring his original theoretical perspective built upon the case studies of the most advanced firms in China with deep insights into how to operate under the VUCA conditions.The University of Manchester China Centre course counselling team will further introduce about Manchester Global MBA programme and application process.
